National price context for these services

The booking script, word for word
Read these out. The whole thing takes a minute or two and they are the gap between a quote and a surprise. Save the last one for emphasis — a written quote settles any dispute at checkout.
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
- "What is the precise price for spray tan (booth) at my hair length and density?"
- "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
Finally: get the quote in writing. A text or email costs the salon nothing and removes any argument at checkout.
From menu price to what you actually hand over
Every line below is normal and expected. None of it is a scam — but almost none of it appears on the menu board either.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $74 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $19 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $93 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 7.1% | $6.60 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $18.60 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $118.20 | 60% above the menu price |
An illustration built from the ranges on this page. Your tax rate and add-on choices will differ.
Takeaway: budget $118 when the board says $74. The difference is $44.

What spray tan (booth) costs you over a year
Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. Spray tan (booth) maintained every 10-14 days in season works out to around $648 a year once gratuity is included.
| Provider level | Each visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $25 | 12 | $300 | $60 | $360 |
| National median | $45 | 12 | $540 | $108 | $648 |
| Premium provider | $75 | 12 | $900 | $180 | $1,080 |
Cadence comes down to typical maintenance intervals. Your own interval is the largest variable.
Before hunting a reduction, check the cadence. Going from 12 to 10 visits a year keeps approximately $130 in your pocket at the same quality of work.
Tipping: the numbers rather than the etiquette
Tip on the pre-tax service amount. If a reduction or promotion applied, the convention is to tip on the original value of the work, not the discounted price.
| Gratuity rate | On $25 | On $45 | On $75 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $3.75 | $6.75 | $11.25 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $4.50 | $8.10 | $13.50 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $5 | $9 | $15 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $6.25 | $11.25 | $18.75 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- Tip the same on a redo as on the original if the redo was not the provider's fault - and speak to management rather than the provider if it was.
- Do not tip on membership dues, booth rent, deposits, annual fees, gift-card loads or cancellation charges — no service was performed.
- Assistants who shampoo or rinse are often tipped separately, generally a few dollars.
- If more than one person worked on you, check how gratuity is divided before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
Where else to look
Price alone rarely settles it. Line up the inclusions first — what is actually included — and only then the price.
